Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Spider-Man 2099 #84 sells for $98.00 against $3.12 raw: a $94.88 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($63.00) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
